From Aoi Art: Many swords were produced during this period.
Nearly 80 years have passed since Showa swords were produced. At first glance, it looks like a very well made product.
But it is called Aburayaki. Currenytly, this type of Aburayaki sword is not made in Japan and is now very rare. It is a precious material that has been polished up.
